    His record from free kicks for Madrid over last 5 years is shocking. They did a comparison on sky article and he hadn't scored for about 3 years or somethings!

    He should definitely be dropped from free kick duty, I don't think I have seen him score one for almost 2 years, penalty's you know before the kick if he will score or not but he does so much more often than miss.

    Yeh agreed. His free kicks are just on rep from his United days tbh. At Real they've been shocking.

    Out of interest
    ..is there anyone else in the Portugal team that takes the free kicks or penalties as a matter of course for their club? Be fair to point out if not...

    Spain made that mistake making cassilias captain so undroppable.

    Who knows what the right position for captain is but they should like everyone else be droppable or what's the point in vice captain?

    Ronaldo's their best player by a country mile and then some. Dropping him would be crazy. But someone else should definitely take the free kicks. It makes sense for him to be on the end of them. That's the way it used to work between him and Figo! I think Deco used to as well.

    Yeh but Ribery wasnt their best player. And he certainly wasnt better than Ronaldo. I don't think anyone even questioned Ronaldo winning it at the time.

    Portugal problem is they have lots of good players but have never had a line leading striker. I can remember way back looking at them with just one striker in 1998 and a **** tonne of attackers


    They've always been the same.

    To ought they'd total control of the game but couldn't score
